I use the TD aeroplan visa

[@k24wkevin]

Thanks for the video! I recently signed up for the Amex Cobalt and paired it with the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite.

[@RewardsCanada]

You've got a one-two punch!

[@Davidd419]

Also have to differentiate between the cards and Aeroplan partners that give EDQ to reach 25K on top of Aeroplan points which the Cobalt & Gold card do not provide when transferring points.

[@RewardsCanada]

Absolutely, there are always a lot of different factors that can be considered and will vary by individual. For a lot of people though earning 100K EDQ is a tough go when they don't use enough partners and especially so with 1 to 1.5 points earn rates on the majority of everyday spending with the Aeroplan cards. So it is more beneficial to turbocharge their everyday earning with something like the Cobalt.

Great video, can you do another video to tell about Td Aeroplan infinite visa travel insurance and trip cancellation, interrupting please

[@RewardsCanada]

Thanks for the suggestion! I am actually planning a more encompassing video on credit card insurance which will not be just specific to the TD API but I can make that card one of the examples so you can learn more!

Hi there Great Video I have the TD Visa infinite Aeroplan and I am thinking to Switch one of my CIBC to CIBC Visa Aeroplan to earn up to 50K points to get a 1 - 2 Punch as you said will Aeroplan allow that to collect points Faster ??? Any advice? Thank you I have about 72 K points at the moment.

[@RewardsCanada]

Based on Aeroplan's terms and conditions you are not supposed to hold two Aeroplan cards in the same tier. So if you have the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card you are technically not supposed to have the CIBC Aeroplan Infinite Card - some people do, but you risk having points deducted, account frozen or even terminated. To be safe you want to make sure you switch to the higher end CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege or the entry level CIBC Aeroplan card as those cards are considered different tiers. Other than that by having both it would definitely increase your Aeroplan earn. Ideally if you want big boost of points you would go for the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege card with its 80,000 points bonus.

[@MTN99999]

@RewardsCanada Thank you for your quick response with all the relevant information. It is greatly appreciated although I have called them yesterday prior to reading your response the rep stated that as long as it is from 2 different banks I am covered she never brought up the same level cars as well as you explained it. Thanks again for the great content as well as info🙏🏾✨️💯

[@riceeatingmf1405]

Isn’t Amex gold also 2x for dining?

[@RewardsCanada]

No, the 2x is only on travel, gas, groceries and drug stores.

[@zelscobs5856]

the Amex Business Edge earns 3 points per dollar on gas purhcases

[@RewardsCanada]

That is correct and it is even one of the better ones for eats and drinks as well. However we did not include any of the small business cards in this comparison. Plans are to have a separate feature and video for those.

[@AlainDoiron]

AMEX Business Edge?

[@RewardsCanada]

Watch for that in a future feature on "Which small business credit card earns the most Aeroplan points"
